100 Days of Awesome: Day Fourteen - Boogers and Blocked Ears

 

Such a sexy day today. I woke up with a horrible cold and didn't go to work because I didn't want to share the germs around (but still actually had to get some work done, only from home).

 

So, the sleep-in was awesome, and well-needed.

 

And the fact I was able to rest between spates of working was pretty awesome too. I'm seriously contemplating getting a hammock for my office.

 

And then there were a couple more messages from the guy I'm brunching with tomorrow, although, truth be told, if I'm still this disgusting in the morning I'm not exactly going to make an awesome impression. Oh well, we shall see. He's been warned!

 

And then this evening, I watched two DVDs - Valentine's Day, and Paperback Hero. Paperback Hero is alllllways awesome. It's got this guy in it, for starters:

Hugh Jackman, with his shirt allllmost off? Yes, please! And you're welcome :)

 

Tomorrow is the start of a long weekend here, so I'm going to endeavour to make my weekend more awesome than the previous couple of weeks have been. I know the weekdays have been a bit mundane, but I guess that's the idea here - taking stock of the little things that make your day more positive and brighter. And if I manage to make it through the night and not wake up feeling like I've been breathing with my mouth open all night, that will be a pretty awesome start to the day ;) (I like to aim high. Hehe.)

 

So what awesome things are you looking forward to getting up to this long weekend?

 

100 Days of Awesome: Day Thirteen - Drugs and Danishes

Oops, I was a very bad blogger and didn't post last night. Yesterday was one of those days where it's just a little bit harder to find awesome things to focus on, in fact, to focus on anything at all. Not that there was anything particularly bad about the day, it was just a very meh kind of day. Probably - as I now know - because I was coming down with a cold.

My friend Kaye emailed me to say that her dog is finally making a recovery from his bowel obstruction, so I guess that's pretty awesome. I like Scruffy and I'm glad that he's okay.

My friend Kat emailed pictures of her dog totally ignoring a helicopter removing mangroves opposite their house, which was awesome. The dog, and also the helicopter, I mean.

Blah blah blah, came home, started to really suspect I was getting sick, and my housemates had friends over for dinner, and this is the part where it got awesome - as I was going to bed, one of their friends took a berry Danish out of the oven, and I was able to squirrel away a piece so that I could have breakfast Danish today. Win!

Then, because I can't take cold n flu tablets, I took a hayfever tablet instead before I went to bed. That knocked me for six and dried my nose right up, and that was awesome.

No wonder I didn't post anything yesterday. If drugs and Danishes are as awesome as it gets, that's kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel. Again. Note to self: Must make more effort towards awesomeness.

Oh, I thought of another one! Some of you may know I've dipped my toe in the online dating pool (hah, okay, so I'm practically submerged!), and there was a few exchanges of messages with this guy who seems pretty cool, which is awesome. Anyway, we're going out for coffee on Saturday. So yay to that.

That is all.

Was your day more awesome than mine?
 

100 Days of Awesome: Day Twelve - Hump Day

Wow, no wonder I was having trouble remembering this morning - I was up at 5:15 to get to work by 7. It's been a while since I was up quite that early, probably since before surgery, actually, but it was awesome knowing I could survive the day if I woke up that early!

Also awesome was people at work actually involving me in stuff that I should be involved in, which was nice!

The main HDD operator, who is 54 and a colossal flirt, bought me a packet of Clinkers and some Pineapple Lumps. He knows he doesn't have a prayer, but he's a sweet guy and likes the attention, and I don't find it at all offensive so hey, free chocolate? Awesome!

I went to the gym for my fitness assessment and didn't die, which awesome. I also stuck around afterwards and worked out for half an hour. I'm kind of proud of myself for that, actually. Unfortunately it also reminded me that my improved fitness pre-surgery has been shot to pieces and I need to start all over again...but at least now I know that I can do it, which helps tremendously. 

I watched Game of a Thrones, which can't possiy ever be anything but awesome...and yet I find myself disgruntled and dissatisfied. I know they did it on purpose, but ARGH! I WANT ALL OF THE THINGS TO HAPPEN! NOW!!!

My former sister-in-law-to-be messaged me to tell me that she played netball tonight, and they lost, and her son asked why and she said the girl she played against was really tall. "Like aunt Vanessa?" "Even taller than her." Her younger daughter then chimed in, "Wow, that girl must be as tall as a dinosaur." So cute! And good to know I'm slightly smaller than a dinosaur... And also awesome to hear from them. Awesome and sad at the same time, but mostly awesome.

Lastly, I watched my wheat bag burst into flames in the microwave, which was pretty awesome to behold m. And then the awesomeness turned to anything-but-awesomeness when I realised I have no other way to warm my stupid, perpetually cold feet up, so sleeping might be tricky for me tonight. So, awesome-not-awesome (kind of like sorry-not-sorry, I guess!). Note to self: obtain boyfriend for sole purpose of warming iceblock-esque feet on his legs. Hehe. 

Anyway, sleep time for me. And I need it, too!

Hope your hump day was awesome. You can tell me about it below, if you like.
